Description:
Fingerprint GUI is a set of GUI tools for the use of fingerprint scanners on
Linux systems. It enables the recording and checking of fingerprints of users
and allows login and authentication of users by their fingerprint through its
PAM module. An additional "fingerprintIdentifier" application can be used for
customized (shell) scripts when users have to be identified or authenticated
by their fingerprints. The system is based on device drivers from the
"libfprint" project.

fingerprint-gui-1.09-2.1.el7.x86_64 [1.0 MiB] Changelog by Wei-Lun Chao (2018-03-15):
* Sat Mar  5 2016 mailaender@opensuse.org
- fix license according to README
- add udev update rules
- update to 1.07
  * Bugfix: Fingerprint export doesn't handle well spaces in custom filename;
  * Security: Directory "/var/lib/fingerprint-gui" and all its subdirectories
    are now owned by root.root with mode 755. All files in these directories
    are also owned by root.root with mode 600 now. The helper module
    "fingerprint-suid" was replaced by a new module "fingerprint-rw" not set
    to suid root any more. This module is executed via "pkexec" for reading
    and modifying fingerprint data.
    A new policy file "cc.ullrich-online.fingerprint-gui.policy" is installed
    in "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/". This policy requires user authentication
    via polkit when the users fingerprint data are modified. So an attacker with
    access to a user's desktop while the user is away, can not register his
    fingerprint in the name of this user any more.
  * libpolkit-qt-1.0 is not supported any more;
